Last season Tyler Seguin had 22 points on the entire season. This season? 14 points in 12 games, no big deal. Plus last night he got his first career hat trick just 40 minutes from his hometown of Brampton in front of his family. Now we can all just sit back and wait for him to get in a fight.
In other news, Chris Kelly does not pump tires, Timmy has an awesome new mask and a ton of non-hockey links for your enjoyment.
